UCONN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: Three points from Saturday's win over St. John's

A closer look at three key points from UConn's 71-65 win over St. John's on Saturday:

? Delivering in the clutch: During her freshman season Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis admitted that she got too nervous for her own good when UConn was locked in a tight struggle. However, when her team needed her to deliver in the final minutes against the Red Storm she was up to the challenge. Although she is on pace to set a program record for most 3-pointers in a season, it was her ability to get into the lane and get fouled which resulted in her scoring seven straight UConn points in a span of 2:24.

? Awaiting word on Banks: Although the Huskies have had a multitude of aches and pains this season, none of the injuries could be considered severe. UConn is hoping the same can be said today after sophomore guard Brianna Banks has an MRI done on her injured right knee. Banks played just 1:24 before colliding with a St. John's player on a drive to the basket. UConn is hoping there are no ligament tears, but that won't be known until after she is examined today.

? Inside muscle: There have been times this season when the Huskies have been guilty of falling in love with the 3-point shot. However, with UConn struggling to shoot from the perimeter, the focus was shifted to getting the ball inside. Even without starting center Stefanie Dolson, who was out with flu-like symptoms, UConn shot 10 free throws and attempted only two 3-pointers in the final 5:29 to survive the Red Storm's upset bid.
